Summary:A source at the Honduran foreign ministry told IPS that the country "maintains friendly and supportive relations with Taiwan and will give it its backing for re-entering the U.N." when the issue comes up for discussion in September, but did not deny press reports about possible changes in Taiwanese-Honduran relations in future. [Chen]'s tour, which is due to end early next week in Nicaragua, is "to reinforce the fraternal links we have had for decades with our sister countries (in Central America)," Marcos Chan, press officer for the Taiwanese embassy in San Salvador, told IPS, after denying that Taiwan is worried by San Jose's decision. The embassy of Taiwan in San Salvador provided information indicating that Salvadoran exports to Taiwan totalled 2.4 million dollars in 2003, and nearly nine million dollars in 2006. Investments by Taiwanese companies in El Salvador amount to 80 million dollars.
